The Wings have outshot their opponent in 3 of the 4 games, with the only except being Monday’s game at the Leafs.

Yep, since we can't enjoy the thrill of victory for our Tigers, don't let other teams or their fans trauma dump their agony of defeat onto us. We're emotion-free from here on in. If we get laid off from a job, we lose the paycheck so by the same token we lose the worry of how the company and its employees are faring in life after us.

Hey mlb.com, that's our phrase.

12-2 Jays. Quite a letdown for the crazed Mariners fans.

Let's say for argument's sake Chris Ilitch wanted to sell the Tigers in the next 3-5 years. Which move - trading Skubal for prospects, letting him walk next winter, or paying him to a bloated contract - is best for maximizing 2028 franchise value? I think there's an argument that signing him would.

This was amazing, especially from the two minute mark onwards. They don’t win Cups any more, but no one does hockey ceremonies better than the Habs and their fans. Dryden and Lafleur were my two favorite players of the ‘70s.

I’ll take that!

Our best hope is that Skubal only has loyalty to himself, which would be his right. So be willing to test the market and not accept a perceived underpay, despite his history with the Tigers organization and city, fine. But by the same token, not feel obligated to test the market if he feels the Tigers have given him a fair lucrative offer, despite what Boras or the union might prefer he do. Make an offer this winter, maybe there is a small chance Skubal would surprise us.

Magglio’s homer was also on an October 14th. I remember because Fox announcer Thomas Brennaman mentioned in his home run call how “on this day 22 years ago…”

2-1 Dodgers, bottom of the 9th, 2 out, bases loaded

Hope this picture of a sign on the marquee of a Vancouver strip club isn’t considered too risqué to post. If so, I apologize.

Does the Upper Peninsula have a lot of Brewers fans the way it has a lot of Packer fans?

The Jays may be smoked like salmon.

Nice! Vancouver does our waterfronts really well. Roughly 200 days per year I’m either running, cycling or walking in Stanley Park. I think our geography can’t be beat. Seattle has a stronger and more diverse economy, is still close enough to the great outdoors, and has a livelier city life, IMO. The two cities complement each other.

Yeah I often watch less after the Tigers are eliminated but find myself interested in this series because: a) while the Tigers' loss was heartbreaking it didn't feel unjust for an 87-win team that had blown the division lead, so I don't feel they got robbed or anything; b) Seattle is somewhat of a sister city of Vancouver, we go there a lot, I enjoy myself there and was treated well by the fans last week; c) Seattle's drought of never having made the World Series has gone on too long; and d) I can't cheer for a Toronto team, their fans just yap and yap and yap in the offseason.

Will someone please tell the Fox broadcast crew that up here in Canada we use cutlery when eating our turkey?

Tigers-Mariners was the real American League championship series, ha.

Polanco does it again. Restores the Mariners' 3-run lead.

Cost the Mariners a run allowed and jacked up Gilbert's pitch count by 15.

I've heard some Canadian commentators say that T-Mobile Park will feel like a Jays home game. No way. Mariners have baseball fever and are paying top dollar for tickets. I bet there might be a couple thousand Jays fans at most. Much different between stuffing the park for a long-planned weekend of baseball in June and doing so in October.

Mariners jump out to a 3-0 lead on a Julio Rodriguez homer before an out has been made in the game.

https://www.barkerville.ca/ Billy Barker’s legendary gold strike on Williams Creek triggered a multi-billion dollar industrial revolution that literally built a province. Today, the extraordinary historic town of Barkerville stands as a living testament to BC’s golden beginnings. With its unique streetscape of more than 125 heritage buildings, period displays, satellite museums, restaurants and shops there is still so much to explore.
